I got the $3600 HP one but it only had 32GB. Lesser AMD cpu and 1TB. I think total would have been same if I had the better spec. So I think this seem to be reasonable deal. Don't think it's $7000 but the discounted price seems decent.

I'm a software architect and AI consultant, so I've been looking for one for AI experimentation and testing as I've outgrown my RTX 5090 Laptop card (24GB VRAM, ~50% speed).
I've been pricing up options for the past couple months, but things are just so high right now...
So while deciding I did a quick inventory check on if I did a home build with this hardware...
CPU: ~$550
GPU: ~$4000-4500
RAM: ~$800
So just for those, before motherboard, case, cooling, PSU, SSD, etc.,. we're already at ~$5,300

Damn. the prices def have gone up!! I'm happy with the $3600 purchase, I still think it was a great deal for a 5090 desktop class machine. I did upgrade to 64GB ram now as I "borrowed" some RAM lol. I would not want to pay for ram at all at this time. Crazy silly prices!
I was going to try to flip it and just get another 5090 as I flip *just for fun* but the possibility of getting scam seems high so I never bothered.
I am just a hobbiest, I don't do "AI work" but what I've learned does come in handy in multiple areas of my life. just fun anyway to learn new stuff.
I ended up buying too much gear as I hit limits that I did not like (takes too long for certain things I'm learning to do etc).
I got them in this order lol -
Laptop 5090 - $3200 - hard to flip this one to break even
Desktop 5090 $3600 - want to flip this and just cycle out better gear when there's a better deal that comes around.
M5 Max 128GB $5000 - I was M4 pro 24GB only and then I swapped to this. but really no need for this much ram since very large models are not smarter and I don't like the inference speed once I've experienced desktop 5090's raw power. First world problems.
It's an endless pit of $ for a hobby but I do know people with 300 bottles of wine and I think they're crazy and it's worth a lot more than the money I've spent on hw.
A random sampling of a clip I generated. Took bout 33 seconds on Desktop 5090 while it chugged for 240 seconds on the laptop 5090. the extra time adds up when I pushed 3 hours of stuff to the desktop 5090. as it would take 24 hours on the laptop and that is just too annoying now so I don't run the laptop 5090 that much because I am impatient. lol. I'm sure you are getting to the same point.

I'm primarily focusing on the applications for business and individual AI adoption, and being able to speak to 'on prem' / self hosted solutions is part of that for me.
I spend a lot of time playing with various harnesses on local and cloud models to build out use case / solution stories.
It's a wild time right now. Obviously, the cloud models have got crazy good (I use Claude and Codex all day, every day) - but the open source models have really improved in the past 6-12mo as well, which is where this hardware comes in super handy (Gemma 4 has blown my mind when coupled with the Hermes Agent).
I do envy that M5 Max. Admittedly, I was torn between trying to source one of those vs going the GPU route, but I opted for speed over model size capability this round. But Macs are surprisingly capable machines - as I respond here, I'm having Claude prep my M1 32GB MBP with a handful of models, agent harnesses, and some scripting to keep me busy on a flight today without the need for Internet, which I wouldn't be able to really do on most PC hardware without staying tethered to a power plug.
And, yes, crazy prices. Just a year ago, I bought 96GB for the Legion 5090 laptop for about $200 and the same kit is $999.99 currently.
One thing is for certain, we're in for a wild ride with this AI stuff - and I believe it's just getting started. Folks really don't realize what's just over the horizon with this all - I think the disruptions that we're starting to see now are almost just the toy applications part of how we're going to find to put this stuff to work shortly down the road.

It is a wild ride for sure, I need to be doing some productive work like you do to future proof myself more!!
